Stress-induced analgesia and endogenous opioid peptides: the importance of stress duration.
Stress is known to elicit pain relief, a phenomenon referred to as stress-induced analgesia. Based on stress parameters, opioid and non-opioid intrinsic pain inhibitory systems can be activated. In the present study, we assessed whether changing the duration of stress would affect the involvement of endogenous opioids in antinociception elicited by swim in warm water (32 °C), known to be opioid...
متن کاملInvolvement of Endogenous Opioid System in Swim Stress-Induced Pain Modulation During the Interphase of the Formalin Test
Introduction: Some evidence demonstrates endogenous inhibitory pathways of pain involved in the interphase (phase between early and later phase) of the formalin test. We previously showed that swimming stress modulates the pain-related behaviors during the interphase of the formalin test. In this study, we evaluated the role of the endogenous opioid system in modulating nociceptive responses of...
متن کاملThe Role of Hypocretin/Orexin in Stress-Induced Analgesia
Orexin is produced exclusively in the lateral hypothalamus, where it is known to be involved in pain modulation through brain stem. Due to the important role of this peptide in functions such as eating, sleeping and awaking, addiction, it attracted the attention of researchers in medical sciences specially neuroscientists. These hypothalamic peptides play a critical role in arousal in s...
متن کاملOpioid peptides mediate heat stress-induced immunosuppression during pregnancy.
To clarify the involvement of the opioid system in enhanced immunosuppression induced by heat stress during pregnancy, we examined the effects of heat exposure and intraperitoneal administration of opioid receptor antagonist naloxone on β-endorphin (β-EP) in blood, pituitary lobes, and placenta as well as splenic natural killer cell activity (NKCA) and placental steroids in pregnant rats at 15-...
متن کاملStress-induced analgesia.
For over 30 years, scientists have been investigating the phenomenon of pain suppression upon exposure to unconditioned or conditioned stressful stimuli, commonly known as stress-induced analgesia. These studies have revealed that individual sensitivity to stress-induced analgesia can vary greatly and that this sensitivity is coupled to many different phenotypes including the degree of opioid s...
